Correction: March 15, 2005

An article last week on emergency contraceptive use on campus ("National awareness remains low, but Plan B usage rising at Tufts," March 11) misstated why Plan B has not been approved for over-the-counter use. The Food and Drug Administration has sufficiently tested the drug, but missed its deadline in late January to make a decision and will now complete its review of the drug in the "near future." Due to an editing error, the continue headline "Some worry that readily-available Plan B could cause increase of unsafe sex" was not supported with evidence in the article. Recent research has in fact found that increased availability of emergency contraceptives did not lead to an increase of risky sexual behavior.
